Am I considered a OKish scala developer if I only use Vanilla scala (and doesn't know cats / shapeless)?
Absolutely. I'm a library developer and I never use cats or shapeless in my projects. The only exception I think I have was object capabilities where cats-effect was useful for defining a deferred computation.

Does anyone here (intentionally) use Scala without an effects library such as Cats or ZIO? Or without going "full Haskell"?
I agree absolutely. There are cases where using an effects library is the best thing you can do. I've written an object capabilities library in Scala, and it's a much nicer experience to use capabilities with cats-effect than doing it raw.

JavaScript-Native RPC to Cloudflare Workers
Nice to see more systems architected on object capabilities. It's a more practical security model than ACLs: https://srl.cs.jhu.edu/pubs/SRL2003-02.pdf
Or more succinctly:
> Capability-based security enables the concise composition of powerful patterns of cooperation without vulnerability.

The Book of Secret Knowledge
As a counterpoint, I sometimes find these lists very useful when I'm trying to broaden my knowledge of something and need pointers to where to start looking.
For example, when I was learning about object capabilities recently, it was very helpful to have awesome-ocap to refer to: https://github.com/dckc/awesome-ocap
